Abstract
Description
M P =M 0(1−exp(−t/T 1)) Eq. (1)
where t is the residence time of the fluid inside the polarizing volume, T1 is a spin-lattice relaxation time, and M0 is the maximum polarization amplitude. For a portion of a fluid that moves with a velocity ν and passes through a volume of magnetization length LM, Eq. (1) can be rewritten as
M P =M 0(1−exp(−L M /νT 1)) Eq. (2)
For a general fluid flow, a slow portion of the fluid generally reaches a maximum polarization (degree of alignment), i.e. Mp≠M0 by the time it exits the pre-polarization volume. The length requirement for a magnet producing a volume to polarize a fast fluid portion is determined by Eq. (2) and the maximum velocity νm of the fluid through the polarizing volume. Therefore, reducing νm can reduce the length requirement of the magnet (LM) by a proportional amount.
where αν is the signal amplitude of a fluid moving at velocity ν and LD is a length of a detection volume. The majority of the fluid moves at a velocity fast enough so that the majority of the signal decay is due to the moving of excited nuclei out of the volume defined by the
where αi is the signal amplitude of a fluid moving at velocity νi. Thus, signal amplitude can be determined for a binned value of velocity to obtain a velocity distribution. The velocity distribution may be obtained via any number of inversion methods known in the art.
F h =f h·
where fh is a volume fraction of the hydrocarbon phase at a specific time,
F T =f T·
where FT is the flow rate of the total fluid, FW is a flow rate of the water phase, fT is a volume fraction,
